Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 , have you ever tried glutamine for his stomach? And I have to say that I would be tempted if this didn't work to try NCD as it seems to help some kid's bad guts. Don't anyone pass out, not as a chelator but I think it has value for the kids who started out with really, really bad stomachs even though they seemed to improve. If his stomach improves enough you could retry giving a really low dose of chelator. Also thinking it's a good idea with a highly reactive kid to get the Yasko report so as not to have to try a lot of things that you are going to have to pull him out of. At least there is a starting point. I do know of kids who according to Yasko aren't supposed to be able to use sulfur chelators who are using them and doing fine. And I have to say with the ammonia problems we had ours would certainly be a CBS kid but she responded beautifully to dmsa/ala. The difference being her stomach was always pretty good. I feel bad you've had such a rough time and I hope you find your answer. [ ] Re: amalgams while breastfeeding Thanks Josie. My son is on all the standard supps except the ones he doesn't tolerate (like B vitamins), and a massive yeast protocol for his neverending horrible yeast. I am also on the usual supps, including selenium. Ds doesn't tolerate enzymes, but I do take them sometimes. Yeah I definitely don't get my teeth cleaned anymore. Worried about cavities and plaque and such, but what can ya do. I do my best to take care of them. We tried two rounds of low-frequent-dose oral DMSA and my kiddo exploded. We had to do a ton of stuff to bring him back and calm his gut. We have done HBOT, Valtrex, mB12 shots, lots of gut bug stuff, GFCF + SCD - allergies diet (he can eat only 9 foods), currently doing subcutaneous immunoglobulin infusions (yay, a TON more yeast), and many other things. My son is basically a non-responder, unless you count responding BADLY. We also have him in many hours of several different therapies each week for the past year, but no response to any of that either. Anytime they actually manage to teach him something new, he just loses something else, it basically gets replaced. I guess he's too toxic to possess more than one skill at a time!! We have considered Yasko and are awaiting our genetic results. I can't say I totally buy into it, and I'm scared of the amount of time/money/supps it seems to require. But I'm also desperate, and feel that it's unlikely to make my son much worse so it's worth a try. > > Hi Guys: > > > > Look in the scheme of things 4 amalgams isn't all that much.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have not yet tried glutamine though I can't remember why right now... seems I read some possible contraindications for using it with my son, but can't find it in my notes now, hmm. I will have to give it another look. I actually tried NCD with him several months ago. We gave it a pretty good run 2 or 3 months I think, started low and slow and worked up to a very high dose actually. Never saw anything. No positives, no negatives, nothing. Oh well! Yeah we are waiting on Yasko results, should be interesting. Given how he reacts to anything even remotely sulfur-related, I'd be shocked if he wasn't CBS upreg.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Sue NCD is activated liquid zeolite that helps remove heavy metals and toxins from the body. A person can have a urine test to see the mercury being excreted, it also safe to take if you have amalgams the mercury is safely removed via urine and is NOT redistrubutied. I have just came back from a conference in Florida and met a woman that has great success using the NCD with autism. My mom had mild dementia and now is doing fine.
